"Due to your manager going on Annual Leave tomorrow he will not be able to have your annual review today.

I will reschedule for a suitable time when he returns"

Awesome... I didn't want that payrise anyway.

[conqueror]

where do you work?

[Ivans On High]

North Sydney, an engineering company.

[fenrost]

thanks rob, that's great news. I wasn't sure if there would be menswear in their order, after IF took none.

i am really glad stephen ordered them.

[melvin7]

2nd ccp shoes on zee wayyyyyy

look what you've done to me rob!

(sorry i just gotta blame someone)

[fenrost]

for the wedding? : )

[melvin7]

meaning that I will be saving it for a while...

[fenrost]

oic. on another note, finally my nicht suit can rest now..

[Ivans On High]

What shoes did you kop Mel?

Do you guys find that when you should be saving (i.e for a wedding. Mel.) all this good shit comes up for sale?

[fenrost]

yea, i got a suit.

i need a spare suit, as been wearing the same every occasion. but thought of getting a crazy suit.

literally all the seam are selvedged, the pocket flaps, the sleeves, the collar, etc, even the front lining are selvedged.

but the pants, in same fabric, i got them in breadstick. thus no selvedge technique applied.

[fenrost]

yea, i cannot fathom any sane designer would do this, except poell, which i guess, one thing i like about him.

[melvin7]

Haha tell me about it Adam. It's fucked.

When are you planning to have yours if you don't mind me asking?

I copped this:

Should be arriving on Tuesday - damn public holiday

One more thing on the cop list (suit) and I'll be done. Possibly for a long long time.

@ Rob - whoa dude that is INSANE.

[Ivans On High]

That is insane Rob. And judging by the price on MixMix, that must have cost you a fortune.

I have the same derbies Mel, they are killer. My wedding is on 20th August next year. The bank balance is already dwindling.

Christian's RADO suit is calling to me though...

[kuugaia]

HOLYFUCK Rob, that is freaking nuts! :\ Could never let a tailor touch that.

[Raw Selvedge]

Way to 'Suit Up' Rob, that is Legen... wait for it... dary

[Chin]

amazing rob!absolutely killer piece!!!Don't we just love tw-edge.

[fenrost]

thanks guys, credit goes to enablers like ^^^^

[Raw Selvedge]

Another update at zekka's blog, can't enlarge the pics though.

[kuugaia]

^ Yeah their photography is much better than other stores imo. Does justice to a lot of the items. Lolwtf @ the death stares from the model at A?

Anybody have any good recommendations for travel bags? Been mostly looking at duffles and messenger styles since i like shoulder slings. Any help would be appreciated as I haven't been able to come across anything good. This was kinda interesting, but it seems awkward to hold... :\

[DJI]

^ for the zipper enthusiast:

what's your budget? and any particular size in mind?

guidi?

ma+?

or this monstrosity?

[Daaave]

What is that zipper bag I need it.

Also, there's a really cool Henrik Vibskov rucksack in a sort of mottled white at Dilettante for a suprisingly reasonable price, you should check it out.

[DJI]

^ FW10 Julius.

[Daaave]

How come I always only find out about these things as soon as I need to start saving for a vacation?

[Raw Selvedge]

Well the bag can be used FOR the vacation Win-win situation haha

Right you are Benny, that's what I got in store for mine!

No real budget I suppose since this travel bag will be my travel bag for years and years to come. I like the Guidi that you first posted Rob but I'm unsure how comfortable that bag will be lugging around from place to place (although the bottom slate is removable?). I like that brown Guidi bag you posted though, what's the deet on that? Hopefully they have it in black

Ma+ bags have all been near misses thus far. Haven't quite found the perfect one. That Julius zipper bag has my attention too, but I may get tired of the zippers in years to come. That sissyp is probably too much for me to handle. Heard opening and closing it makes the loudest noise lol.

brown guidi

the ccp rhombus closure, i know someone had it, but i can't recall the noise as a problem, however was amazed how much the leather of the bag has soften.

this m.a+

[kuugaia]

Cheers man. I'm gonna have a ponder. Much appreciated!

[MoreFire]

Seems like my quest for a pants finally has an end.

Got some RAF pants. The pic doesn't really do it justice. The fabric is super light woven wool... The fit is slim in the thigh and straight down. I am going to have it slimmed down at the lower leg + hem. From 19cm to 17.5cm hem... Begging the tailor does a good job :-\\

[kuugaia]

^ I have a thing for wooden floorboards, so I like the look of the store.

So I ended up copping a black horse leather guidi bag. Funnily enough it turned out to be the same one you linked above Rob, which I did not realize at the time of purchase. Really is something else in person. Now I'm all set and ready to go!

But the search for a leather jacket continues...but I'm getting this feeling I just don't suit them.
